Please read these things you can easily do every day to help save our planet...I copy and pasted each of them for you to read. A lot of people are ignoring this ugly truth about what we are doing to our planet. But can u imagine our children, or children's children not having a safe place to live because we were to lazy to do one simple thing?




Live Earth Climate Crisis Solution:




By planting trees, you can reduce home cooling costs by as much as 50%and grow yourself a little shade on a warm summer day.

Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs and use only a fraction of the energy, saving you money over their lifespan.

You can make 20 new cans from recycled material with the same energy it takes to make 1 from scratch.

Wash your clothes in cold water and save yourself up to $400 a year in bills.

Every ton of recycled paper saves enough electricity to power a 3 bedroom house for an entire year.

1.5 million tons of plastic are used to make bottles every year, a waste that could instead power electricity in 250,000 homes.

If just 1 million people cut down their trash by 10%, we could reduce our yearly CO2 emissions by as much as 50,000 tons.

Consider bamboo the next time you’re landscaping your yard; bamboo stores more CO2 and generates 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.

Computers use up to 70% less electricity when you put them to sleep instead of using a screensaver.

Paper represents more than 70% of office waste. Print and copy on both sides of the page before taking it to the recycling bin.

Globally, we use as many as 1 million new plastic bags every MINUTE at a cost of 2.2 billion gallons of oil a year. Go reusable whenever, wherever.

A 100-guestroom hotel can save an estimated 72,000 gallons of water a year through a linen and towel reuse program. You don’t wash your towel everyday at home, do you?

Purchasing 100% post-consumer recycled paper lightens your carbon footprint by 5 pounds of CO2 per ream.

If just 1 million people replaced a 5 mile car trip once a week with a bike ride, we could reduce CO2 emissions by about 100,000 tons a year.

I hope you consider doing at least one of these things, every little bit helps.
